GEAR REVIEW | SLEEPING MATS

30 | July 2013 | Mountain Pro www.mountainpromag.com

SLEEPING MATSIt’s not all about the sleeping bag; an appropriate sleeping mat will make the difference between a cold, uncomfortable night and a cosy, restful slumber. Phil Turner reviews sleeping mats to suit all conditions and budgets.

EXPED DOWNMAT LITE 5M £80

Airmats should offer maximum

comfort in the outdoors, with large cylindrical air chambers that can be inflated to offer just the right amount of support. Unfortunately borrowing a lilo just isn’t going to cut it in

the colder months, as the warmed air in the chambers is free to circulate and cool. The

Exped DownMat series solves this by stuffing the air chambers with lightweight down insulation – 80g in the case of my DownMat Lite 5M. So while it might look like something more suited to a Magaluf swimming pool, the longitudinal tubes actually offer an R-value of 4.1 (higher is better), with a suggested temperature rating of -12ºC. The two outer chambers are slightly larger to reduce the chance of rolling off the mat in the night, though keeping the mat slightly soft (rather than drum-tight) helps to prevent this and is actually more comfortable. The 650 fill power down has been treated to resist moisture, but the DownMat Lite is supplied with a simple foam pump that reduces the risk of moisture-laden breath entering the down. It has little impact upon weight and bulk at 45g (on top of the mat’s 600g) and inflates the mat in about two minutes. It’s not cheap, but for a year-round sleeping mat it’s hard to beat. ! http://www.exped.com

KATHMANDU HIKE 25 £45A self-inflating mat, the Hike 25 has a layer of foam sandwiched between two water-resistant fabrics – a smooth ripstop top with a more durable and grippy base that resists night-time migration across the groundsheet. The foam – with a diamond pattern cut through it to reduce bulk and weight – is comfortable as well as offering insulation from the ground by trapping air. By opening the twist valve at the head end the mat will slowly fill with air, though it may need finishing off with a few puffs of air if a firmer mattress is preferred. My regular length (183cm) mat weighs in at a hefty 790g, but with a 51cm width offers a good degree of comfort for summer and early autumn use; by shaping the mattress a little more to reduce unused areas of the mat and making use of thinner fabrics the weight and packed size could be reduced. This would probably increase the price though, which at £45 is pretty impressive. ! http://www.kathmandu.co.uk

EDITOR’S CHOICE

THERMAREST RIDGEREST SOLITE £25For a long trip or where sleeping mat failure just isn’t an option, a Closed-Cell Foam (CCF) mat is the solution. There’s nothing to go wrong, no valves to leak or air chambers to puncture, and at 400g it’s lightweight too. But it is bulky – ultra-lightweight backpacking aficionados will use a CCF mat rolled into a cylinder as the structure for an unpadded rucksack, but most backpackers will strap the mat onto their rucksack externally where it risks snagging on the terrain. Standard CCF mats have a smooth surface, relying on the air bubbles within the foam

structure for insulation, but the famous RidgeRest supplements this with a raised profile of peaks and valleys which provides more cushioning and comfort than a ‘flat’ mat, as well as boosting insulation. The SOLite model adds an aluminised coating to the top surface of the mat which claims to reflect heat back towards the body – it makes sense, but it’s hard to prove in the field! Lightweight and cheap, this is the ideal mat for long-distance backpackers or those seeking to supplement an air mattress in winter. ! http://cascadedesigns.com/en/therm-a-rest

GEAR REVIEW | SLEEPING MATS SLEEPING MATS | GEAR REVIEW

July 2013 | Mountain Pro | 31www.mountainpromag.com

TRANGOWORLD SKIN MICRO LITE £80This is a simple, self-inflating mat – but instead of a nylon shell or similar it uses a curious polyurethane film which is certainly non-slip and very lightweight, but doesn’t feel that pleasant when skin comes into contact with it. Nonetheless the film shell - coupled with the foam core - does seem to stretch and mould to the shape of the body when prostrate. The cut mirrors a mummy sleeping bag shape – so there’s no wasted material – and there are two lengths available; a regular 185cm and short 120cm, for those looking to cut packweight and happy to supplement their sleeping system with spare clothing or a rucksack under the legs. As it is, the 540g weight of the regular length is pretty good, and the low-bulk outer permits a small packed size. Channels cut in the foam help to reduce the bulk and weight, and add to the insulation R value of 3.41 – pretty good given the weight and low price. ! http://www.trangoworld.com

VANGO ULTRALITE MAT FULL £40I’m not sure if the weight of 650g (plus 60g for the stuffsack) is really ‘ultralite’, but I guess these things are all relative. This is very similar to the Kathmandu mat, but manages to save weight by using a mummy shape, cutting off the corners that are unlikely to be used, while retaining the same width and length measurements. A shorter, 120cm mat is also available. I was drawn to the sturdy-looking metal screw valve which is confidence-inspiring. The 2.5cm foam core feels luxurious, but the diamond cut-outs help keep the weight and bulk down and self-inflates nicely, just requiring a bit of extra puff to create a firm mattress. With a Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scheme seal of approval and a low price, this is a solid performer, offering more comfort than a closed-cell foam mat, with only a slight weight and cost penalty. ! http://www.vango.co.uk

VAUDE NORRSKEN £105

The price tag is high, but behind the unprepossessing lilo-esque exterior are some neat

features. The valve – a simple thing that can cause so much hassle if designed badly – uses a push-pull mechanism which is much

easier than trying to seal a screw valve with your tongue to stop the air escaping while it’s tightened up. The two outer longitudinal air chambers are slightly larger to stop the user falling off the mat in the night, though the 30 denier fabrics used are particularly slippery and the mat does have a tendency to highlight an off-horizontal groundsheet. The top of the air chambers are lined with synthetic Primaloft Infinity insulation – it’s important to have the mat the right way up – and by using a zig-zag baffle construction the insulative value is further increased. Vaude state a comfort temperature of -19ºC which seems a bit optimistic, but if that is the case – and it certainly performed well in my springtime testing – this is an excellent mat given the 650g weight. ! http://www.vaude.com

KELTY RECLUSE 2.5I £90A relative newcomer to the UK, Colorado-based Kelty have been producing outdoor equipment for the US market since the 1950s. The Recluse line of air mattresses is characterised by a rugged, no-nonsense approach to their construction, with a thick nylon used throughout which adds weight but appears seriously tough. The tapered shape saves some weight, yet at 198cm long there’s little risk of limbs falling off the 6.4cm high longitudinal chambers. A clever hand pump has been built into one of the larger outer tubes, removing the need to blow into the mat at all, though as it takes over 100 pumps to fully inflate the mat, lung power is far less frustrating! A layer of synthetic insulation has been attached to the inside of the chambers to reduce convectional heat loss, but the mat still has an R value of 2.5 which only really makes it suitable for summer use. Weighing 1kg with a relatively large packed size there are cheaper, lighter and less bulky options. ! http://www.kelty.com

SNUGPAK PREMIUM AIR MAT £40With no discernible insulation within the air chambers this is effectively a lilo, albeit constructed from a lightweight and more durable fabric than a pool toy. With no insulation there is nothing to stop the convective heat loss within the tubes, so the layer of air within the chamber that has been heated by the body is free to circulate and cool again. But this mat does have some value – by layering with a closed-cell foam mat some comfort can be added, but is it worth carrying the extra 540g? Purely for use in warm weather, or perhaps as an emergency spare bed at home. ! http://www.snugpak.com

In  2014,  Therm-a-Rest  expands  its  award-winning  sleepingbag  line  with  the  addition  of  three  sleeping  bags  meticulouslydesigned  to  meet  the  unique  needs  of  women  and  provide  themwith  the  best  possible  night's  rest  outdoors.  

Therm-a-Rest's  Synergy-Link™  mattress  connectors  and

innovative  ThermaCapture™  technology  set  the  new  women's

sleeping  bags  apart  from  the  competition.  The  Synergy-Link

Connectors—two  patent-pending  bands  that  fit  mattresses  up  to

25  inches  (63  cm)  wide—keep  the  bag  and  mattress  securely

aligned  to  eliminate  problems  with  sliding,  twisting,  and  cold

spots.  ThermaCapture  is  a  proprietary  reflective  lining  that

captures  the  body's  radiant  heat,  amplifying  warmth  without  the

weight  and  bulk  of  additional  conventional  insulations.  The

reflective  technology,  also  used  in  the  brand's  popular  NeoAir™

mattresses,  allows  the  bags  to  rank  among  the  lightest  in  their

temperature  rating.

"These  new  women's  sleeping  bags  have  to  be  some  of  the  mostwell-thought-out  sleeping  bags  on  the  market",  said  Doug  Jacot,vice  president  of  Therm-a-Rest.  "Every  aspect  of  the  design  wasscrutinized  through  our  in-house  cold  chamber  testing  and  byour  team  of  testers  in  the  field.  Our  tireless  work  resulted  indesigns  that  provide  women  the  most  warmth  and  comfortpossible  in  bags  that  are  extremely  light  and  packable."

The  sleeping  bags  feature  a  unique,  women-specific  Efficient

Comfort  Fit  with  extra  room  in  the  torso  and  hips  to  allow  greater  freedom  of  movement—particularly  when  side  sleeping.  The  bags  are  cut  slightly  closer  in  the  shoulders,

head,  and  feet  to  maximize  warmth.  A  trapezoidal  foot  box  with  Toe-Asis™  foot  warmer  pocket  allows  women  to  rapidly  warm  cold  feet  while  an  overfilled  hood,  draft  collar

technology.

Zoned  insulation  prioritizes  high-loft  fill  throughout  the  bag's  top  to  trap  rising  warm  air.  Each  bag  comes  with  a  smaller  amount  of  fill  in  the  bag's  bottom  that  works  in  tandem

7/31/13 Thermarest NeoAir Trekker Review | Ember Survival

Thermarest NeoAir Trekker ReviewPosted on July 30, 2013 by Sunny Bull

“I  once  spent  a  night  out  on  the  welsh  hills,  in  the  depth  of  winter,  with  a  1  season  three  quarter  length  roll  mat.  I  couldhardly  feel  my  feet.  I  promised  myself  to  never  repeat  this  experience.”

The Thermarest Neo Air Trekker has been with me on many trips now and is proving itself as a very comfortable, warm and spacious wildcamping roll mat.

Thermarest NeoAir Trekker. its a very comfy and portable roll mat.

The NeoAir line of products lack foam inside, so the mattress is only air, the benefit is it packs down to a size similar to a 1litre Nalgene bottleand is an impressive 6.3cm thick!

Inflating the Trekker requires a good few minutes, if you want to do it without fainting, but with practise it is soon filled with enough air.

Video   of   the  NeoAir   Trekker   being   used   and   inflated   on  my  most   recent   trip.   Location  was   a   tiny   island  which   is   venue   to   some   of   ourbushcraft  courses.  This  is  my  favourite  pitch  under  a  tree  in  a  sheltered  spot  by  the  water.

embersurvival.com/blog/thermarest-neoair-trekker-review/ 2/3

The face fabric on the NeoAir Trekker is thick and durable 75D for the top and 100D for the base, so for camp sites where the ground may besharp or prickly the roll mat copes well. Bushcraft, wilderness trekking or canoe expeditions would benefit from a roll mat able to withstandnasty pine needles!

Sleeping on the NeoTrekker is best suited for when you face unpredictable camping situations, for example at night when you cannot checkthe ground before you pitch, the thicker roll mat absorbs stones and bumps really well so you spend the night in comfort instead of having alittle rock poking you in the back.

the mat its baffled structure.

In terms of insulation the Thermarest NeoAir Trekker has a “Triangular Core Matrix” which is internal baffling that creates over 100 pocketsof air which helps stabilise the structure, so it feels like a comfy mattress, as well as slowing down heat loss which means you stay toasty too.

7/31/13 Thermarest NeoAir Trekker Review | Ember Survival

embersurvival.com/blog/thermarest-neoair-trekker-review/ 3/3

Compressibility and pack-ability are stars of the show here; the NeoAir Trekker weighs in at 730g for the L version. As a 2-3 Season roll mat,it’s not suited for winter use.

Quality and attention to detail is excellent, but it’s a Thermarest, so no surprises there. If you leave your tent or bivi pitched during the dayand leave your roll mat inflated, make sure you open the valve, as if the day is hot enough you may have a nasty exploded mat to come backto!

72g with two alkaline AAA batteries (51g minus batteries). It inflates my NeoAir short in just overone minute. To fully inflate it still requires one or two breaths.

The pump is simplicity itself, with an impeller at one end and an extendible rubber tube whichattaches to the valve on the mat at the other. The pump starts working when the door to thecompartment housing the rubber tube is opened. It’s an incredibly simple, yet effective device. Idon’t know how many pump cycles one set of batteries will last, but comments elsewhere suggesta fair number. Obviously, it won’t appeal to the SUL crowd, but it’s light enough for mostbackpackers.

Additional: I’ve used it with my POE mats and it works with those too

BG!4 JULY 2013 @ 7:59 PMMust admit that I’ve been tempted by one of these but I’ve resisted because nobody’s beenwilling/able to tell me:a) If/how they perform using Ni-MH/Eneloop batteries (which have 1.2V ratings); andb) If they work on other mats such as POE Insul-Mats.If you’ve tested the thing on other mats and with 1.2V batteries I’d be interested in reading theresults.

REPLYRobin4 JULY 2013 @ 8:13 PMI don’t have any AAA NI-MH batteries. It should work on POE as it fits over the valve.Won’t work on Exped.

REPLYBG!4 JULY 2013 @ 8:36 PMThanks, Robin. Now I know that it’ll fit my POEs I’ll get one and try it with different batteries.

REPLYRobin5 JULY 2013 @ 9:02 AMJust tried it on my POE Ether Elite. It works and takes just over 3 minutes to inflate. Youstill need a couple of puffs to finish it off.
